Dog Friendly Holiday Cottages in Cornwall
It is quite unusual to find luxury cottages in Cornwall which are also dog-friendly, but we have even won awards for it! Please see our Dogs page for our few basic guidelines to help us keep Kernock Cottages both 5* and dog-friendly If you are looking for useful information on dog-friendly beaches restaurants, pubs and tourist attractions, you will find it on the Dogs page. There is only a small charge if you would like to bring your dog; it is £25 per dog irrespective of the length of stay. In general, we welcome up to 4 dogs per cottage. Each of the cottages has an enclosed garden. The Coach House and Owl Barn have fully enclosed gardens around the cottage. Tree Barn and Heather Barn have a fenced area adjacent to the cottage, so you can have your dog outside with you while you enjoy the hot tub, without fear of them running off.
Inside the holiday cottages
The cottages all have individual character, and features include oak, bamboo and Rhodesian teak flooring, beamed ceilings, rugs and a mix of contemporary and antique furniture, paintings and sculptures, making each cottage comfortable and unique.
In all of the cottages every bedroom has an en-suite bath or shower room. Some of the bedrooms are flexible, and can be arranged to suit you – either as superking-sized or twin rooms.
In every cottage you will find a freeview flatscreen television, a DVD player, a radio, an iPod dock, radio alarms and hairdryers in the bedrooms, board games and books – everything you need for a lazy day in, or a quiet evening.
Outside the cottages
Outside each holiday cottage you’ll find a private hot tub, garden, well-lit terrace, barbecue area with a Weber gas barbecue and outside furniture. The hot tubs are ideal to relax after a hard day’s walk. The 4 cottages are situated in a private estate of 22 acres of mature gardens, woodland, paddocks and fields. Your dog will love Central Bark – our secure 6-acre dog walking paddock – which has mown paths, a loop through the woods, poo bins, great views over Bodmin, and benches for weary humans.
The cottage kitchens
Each cottage is fully equipped with everything you would expect in a modern kitchen. In all of our cottages you will find a dishwasher, washer-dryer, oven, microwave, ceramic hob, fridge, freezer, coffee maker, blender and a wide range of kitchen equipment and cookery books. There are plenty of pots, pans, serving dishes and casseroles. If you prefer outdoor cooking, each cottage has a Weber gas barbecue. So if you love to cook, you have everything on hand.
For babies and toddlers – baby-friendly accommodation & child-friendly cottages
Kernock cottages are baby friendly luxury holiday cottages in Cornwall. For babies, we have much more than the usual cot and high chair (see our Baby-Friendly tab for the list of baby equipment), which is all available free of charge. As a result, you will have a little more space in the boot for your belongings. Just let us know when you book what you need, and it will be ready in the cottage for you when you arrive. Babysitting can also be arranged on request if sufficient notice is given.
Accessible Cottages
Heather Barn is fully wheelchair accessible, and is also popular with families with toddlers, and those with older dogs (who love the “underpaw heating”!). We also have a wide range of useful things that can be used in any cottage which may be helpful, such as hypoallergenic bedding, an induction loop (for hearing-aid users), bed grab rails (for adults as well as children), Elephant’s feet and foot stools. Please see our Accessibility page for further information.
